This is quite the week for Design Notes! First, a word from Plasma Charge.

Star Date: September 14th, 3012

DOOOOOOOOM!!! Darkness and Light.

A message to all mecha pilots.

In Soluna city a dark cloud looms over the Mysterious Emporium, more and more citizens have been reporting sightings of a cloaked stranger near the shop, when a brave few attempted to talk to him they say he vanished into the shadows. They also heard him say a name… your name.

This week to follow up on the Ghost hunter update we have brand new levels of Doom Cell merge ghost hunter mechs (sweet new specials thanks to Blues!), and an exclusive NG Sepulchure of DOOM mecha (which levels all the way to 100 with you!) both of which WILL BE available from the Mysterious Stranger on the East side of Soluna City.

Update: The Sepulchure of Doom is available NOW! The Eidolon type has some issues and its release is being pushed back until next week when we can resolve them so you have a nicely-working model to pilot! =Mae & Korin Now back to Plasma Charge...

When you’re finished outfitting yourself with these awesome new items, head to the starport, because we’re heading back to Liath! After meeting the stone curtain you’re going to have return to Soluna to retrieve the Liath artifact from Val, just be careful of the ever-aggressive Fauna of the monochrome planet.

For those of you who don’t know who I am, I’m Plasma Charge - along with Practel I help pre-test MQ! I began to play AE games back in June 2008 I started with Adventure Quest and then discovered Dragon Fable and more importantly Mech Quest, ironically my first memory of MQ was being owned by the portal Doom Knight! Currently I’m a tester for MQ and AQW and I also help Arch Knight in MQ pedia, Gremlins and HSGD of course if you’ve seen me on the forums you probably already know that! =P If you have any other questions feel free to ask them on the forums.

Hope you guys all have a great weekend, watch out for Gremlins and thanks for playing MechQuest!

Thanks! There is also news from Titan of the MechQuest/Epic Duel Crossover!

Calling all MechQuest enthusiasts, an exciting crossover event istaking place on the planet Delta V in [EpicDuel] right now! Last week,Dravax the Harbinger came seeking Char and brought with him a greatdanger to the inhabitants of Delta V. In the face of danger, you madeyour voices loud and clear! You chose to defend Charfade and Delta Vto the last! While noble, your resistance has done little todiscourage Dravax and the planet-destroying Dragonoid!

Charfade is so pleased by your overwhelming support that she'sconstructed a new series of items to offer in her Limited QuantityShop. She's also reverse engineered Dravax's technology to produceclass-changing variants of the Harbinger Armor and a teleportationdevice that might just allow you to reprogram the Dragonoid fromwithin. There's also a 2.2% chance you'll be jettisoned into theabyss of space, but it's worth a shot!

Will you help defend Charfade and Delta V from near certain doom? Thefinal hour of judgment approaches in the Dragon's Reckoning event,happening now in [EpicDuel]

Are you ready?

Thanks, Titan!

So after you catch up with tonight's MQ release, head on over to ED to check out the crossover! If you haven't caught up on the MQ storyline "Dragonoid Saga" chapters featuring the character we know as Char, taking some time to complete that will help fill you in on a bit of backstory regarding what's happening in Epic Duel.

Thank you for making our donation possible!

Child's Play is a charity that raises money to make lives better for sick children in hospitals around the world. It was started by gamers, like you and me, and is a cause that the BattleOn Games Team feels very strongly about.

Artix always says that you can never fail unless you give up. If you're still trying then the game's not over. It's really true. There is a great children's hospital in the town where I live and they were not on the Child's Play network of hospitals. So I did a few minutes worth of research on the internet, called the people in charge of fundraising and told them all about Child's Play. Today they are contacting the charity, becoming a benefactor and hopefully some of YOUR generosity will go to help the sick kids in that hospital a few blocks from my house!

If there is a children's hospital in YOUR town, maybe you can do the same thing! All it takes is a little effort and you can improve the lives of so many people. It's amazing to see what gamers can do when we put our minds to it!

Thanks, everyone, for supporting BattleOn Games (Did we tell you all that are changing the name of the company?), allowing us to make great adventures for you and for making our support of Child's Play possible! It's all because of you.
